Only someone that has never ridden a fixed would ask such a question. Being more aware of your surroundings is one thing for sure, but there are quite a few benefits to riding fixed. 1, Vastly improves your cycling strength. 2, Vastly improves your pedalling due to having to push up hills...

http://www.amwblastcoat.co.uk/ Personally used these, great work for the money. £65 gets your frame blasted, and coated, £10 more for metallics etc. Nice finish and very friendly people to deal with.

Gears are for old people :) Fixed gets you fitter in no time and teaches you how to be a better rider. Nice work on this Pu6486.

Hi, I have the chance to buy this Olmo for £155 http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDgwMA==/ ... ~48_80.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDgwMA==/ ... ~48_80.JPG It has Shimano 105 parts and Modolo brakes and he says it needs a service. Is there anything I should look out for, or is this a...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skeates-23-Fr ... 3ccb8654ec I would love to own this, but I have no idea on how to keep it alive for long, I would probably ruin it within a year :(
